DOG BEACH IS BACK, AHEAD OF SCHEDULE

Dog Beach, at Long Meadow in
Prospect Park, has reopened much earlier than expected. Dogs can again
use the swimming area during the hours that they are allowed to be off
their leashes in the park.

Restoration and reconstruction began in early July; the beach wasn't
scheduled to reopen until early 2017. During the project, pavement was replaced with natural
stone slabs, chain link fencing was replaced with underwater fencing
that separates dogs from wildlife, and invasive plants were replaced with
native ones.

Off-leash hours in Prospect Park are every day from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. During those off-leash hours, dogs are also
allowed off-leash at the Long Meadow, Nethermead, and the Peninsula.

The Brooklyn Borough President’s office, councilmembers Brad Lander and
Stephen Levin, and the Brooklyn Delegation provided funding for the
project.
